“No, I can’t accept that. Luka, I sense you’re still upset with me. I had no other option back then…”

After saying that, he promptly turned around and left.
Watching him walk away, tears finally streamed down Debora’s cheeks.
After waiting in silence, Stella heard nothing. She decided to slip out the back door to avoid running into Debora and Luka.
